It’s tough to be such a cowardly king! The Lion follows along with Dorothy and her other friends to the fabulous Emerald City, where he hopes the Wizard of Oz will give him courage. The courage the Wizard originally provides in the book is green liquid and comes out of a bottle – lots of people do find their bravery at the bottom of a glass like that. But I decided to show our Lion as the brave and happy creature that laughs at his former cowardice. ^_^

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was written by L. Frank Baum and published in 1900. However, the book lapsed into public domain in 1956, so the characters are available for free use in other works -- such as my dolls!
